Questions about ZIP 55355 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 55355?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,089, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $980 to $1,198 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,150 it would be $1,035 to $1,265. The voucher pays the lower of the payment standard or the gross rent, minus the tenant's share, which is usually about 30% of adjusted monthly income.
